About Osho

Osho is a enlightened mystic whose wisdom, clarity and humor have touched the lives of millions of people around the world. His insights are creating the conducive atmosphere or ‘ Atma-Sphere ” for the emergence of what he calls the ‘New Man’ or Zorba the Buddha, the combination of celebration, dance and song of Zorba and the silence, stillness and meditation of the Buddha, the meditation of the East and the materialism of the West. Zorba the Buddha is a totally new human being who is an awakened one, and he is life-affirmative and free. When someone asked Osho the definition of religion, Osho replied: To be in romance with life is religion.

Every one who came as enlightened, Jesus, Buddha, Mahavir, Krishna were ahead of their time and similarly Osho is ahead of﻿ this time we live in. Only a developed soul can really grasp what he is saying. He is the most outstanding individual i have ever witnessed in my life.

I understand everything he’s ever said, to a point where I remember what he said from my youth – thinking it as a teenager. Now I’m fully awake, and it’s not even remotely religious or spiritual.

waking up is easy, getting out of bed is hard – getting to work, working hard, and then﻿ you come home again. Then you remember the value of sleep, and so you come back. Everything is on and off, which is fine. you just have to learn to bend to your life, not bend your life to you. Happiness.

He is not talking about The Matrix idea of waking up. Waking Up is an idea talked about in Hinduism and Buddhism and has to do with reaching﻿ a form of mental liberation from the world through meditation and to reach Nirvana. You reach a higher state of compassion.

How do you learn to bend to life, without understanding of the nature of the self, which reveals the nature of life?
Then and only then,﻿ can you let go of your expectancy of life to bend to you,
this is true freedom.

lol you agree with him yet u cannot see how your human brain has been conditioned to believe in a god? cannot you not see how the idea of﻿ god came from outside of you.. and now is a belief. there is no god lol

don’t pretend to be what u are not “smart” or whatsoever. what do u mean by saying that “God came from outside of u” what do u know what is out side of u? is there anything out of u? just think don’t try to defend ur self just think if there anything out of ur self.conditioned means accept what u know as it is . so it’s ﻿ part of our conditioning to think that there is something out of us ..everything is in us nothing out of us like God or whatsoever. the word god is meaningless

This guy is a total legend! He completely conveys the blatant fact that we still live﻿ under rules and regulations that are very animalistic in nature and I strongly feel that we are on a cusp of some transformative process / or not? where control and power may / hopefully become more and more pointlessly destructive that even the blindest idiot can finally see and accept that as Terence Mckenna aptly put it ” to take on control of something and dominate is to put enormous aggravation on you
